Hello everyone!
I reckoned some of you would have finished your major exams (GCE O-Levels, IP, IB and IGCSE). Congrats! It’s time for your to enjoy your holiday before you embark on the next stage of your academic and knowledge pursuance.
It has been a while since you last hear from me. We (Winners Education Group) just came back from our educational trip to Northern Vietnam (Hanoi City, Sapa and Halong Bay, etc) and we have learned alot about their:
- Educational system for Primary, Secondary, High School and Universities
- Educational levels as compared to other developed and developing nations
- History and Literature
- Language and Economy
And, of course – i saw several interesting Chemistry Phenomenon – Chemistry reactions and actions that are related to our everyday life!
Halong Bay – an UNESCO World Heritage Site has 2000+ limestone structures that are formed due to the wave and wind erosion of one huge island, over thousands and thousands of years.
We also saw villagers selling home-made Corn Wine along the streets! This corn wine has 50% v/v alcohol (ethanol) content!
And apparently some villagers used it to power and run their cars and motorbikes! Chemistry students! Ready for actions? [Read more…] about Chemistry Phenomenon: Educational Trip to Northern Vietnam – Nov 2010
